Energy harvesting from plants using hybrid microbial fuel cells; potential applications and future exploitation (2024)
Journal Article

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) can be fuelled using biomass derived from dead plant material and can operate on plant produced chemicals such as sugars, carbohydrates, polysaccharides and cellulose, as well as being “fed” on a regular diet of primary bio...

Gut bacteria promote proliferation in benign S/RG/C2 colorectal tumour cells, and promote proliferation, migration and invasion in malignant HCT116 cells (2023)
Journal Article

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health burden with a rising incidence worldwide. Distinct bacterial populations are associated with CRC development and progression, and it is thought that the relationship between CRC and associated gu...

The metabolic profiles and bacterial interactions of Bacteroides fragilis, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, E. coli Nissle 1917 and Clostridium perfringens on RG/C2 (benign) and HCT116 (malignant) colorectal tumour cell lines (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aim of this research was to determine the interaction of the afore mentioned bacterial species on the attachment and invasion of both benign and malignant tumour cells using the gentamicin and metronidazole bacterial infection assay. The results...
